obama was kind of solid/hard. and i think after the election if obama wins, he will have some reconstruction to do in the relationship with the chinese. if romney wins, he would try to do better with the chinese and you're absolutely right. once the new chinese leadership is installed, we are to make a very serious effort. to go to them and say to them let's sit down, let's talk about this relationship. because we face a historic opportunity for the first time ever, two major powers, contenders should not be getting into a war. that is a challenge we both face. and we cannot solve it on our own. we can only solve it together with the chinese. that'll have to happen after the elections. >> senator coons, you know the administration had a good hand in developing the defense sequester opposition with members of congress. last night i thought the president exposed himself a little bit on that. wouldn't you agree that when he said in that moment that will not have a defensive sequester and have the administration folks
